Nigerian actor Alexx Ekubo has made a public appeal to President Bola Tinubu and other leaders to address the country’s economic crisis.

He expressed concern about the worsening economic situation, highlighting the impact of inflation and hunger on Nigerians.

Ekubo emphasized the need for better living standards, urging leaders to take immediate action to reduce electricity tariffs, fuel prices, and foreign exchange rates.

He pleaded for President Tinubu to take decisive action, stating that this is an opportunity for him to make a positive impact on the country.

He wrote:

“I took this photo on the 23rd of February 2021 in Kaduna while filming #Almajiri. It’s crazy how bad things were then or so we thought.. things are bad now, like really really bad right now, it’s awful. For the love of God, can our leaders please act right & come through for us one time, this one time pleaseeeee?”

“For those that are new to what’s going on, Nigeria is currently undergoing the worst economic downturn, & inflation is at its highest point in over 30 years, as a result there is so much hunger in the land.

“All we are asking for is a better standard of living; we just want to eat & get from point A to point B at an affordable & reasonable price; we don’t care who or what is ruling over whom, we need help & we need it now; we have gone from sitting to dancing on a keg of gunpowder.

“I spoke to a close friend yesterday & she asked me “So what are the immediate solutions” Not later now now now! Well! We are asking for a drastic reduction in electricity tariffs, & fuel prices. Among other things, a reduction of the foreign exchange rate to the Naira. These factors affect the average Nigerian drastically & impact greatly on our day-to-day activity.

“Please, Mr. President, do something, this is the one time you can write your name in the sands of time, pleeeeeeeeease I am begging, they are begging, we are all begging. I guess what the kids in the photo & I are trying to say is, if you’re not going to give us a chance to lead, then lead us well.”
